Agroecological zone of Bangladesh/Physiographic units of Bangladesh

Agroecological zone

Agroecological zone is a zone which has a unique combination of physiographic, soil, hydrological and agroclimatic characteristics. Thirty agroecological zones (AEZ), 88 sub-zones (sub-regions) and 535 agroecological units have been identified in Bangladesh on the basis of important differences in physiography, soil, hydrological and agroclimatic characteristics. Agroecological zoning helps classify regions where a particular crop may or may not be grown.
Physiography
Physiography is the combination of geological material in which, a particular kind of soils have formed and the landscape on which they occur. It is the primary element in defining and delineating the agroecological regions of Bangladesh. Bangladesh can be divided into three broad physiographic regions. The percentage composition of these three physiographic regions are as follows:
Physiographic region and percentage
1. Northern and Eastern Tertiary hills 12%
2. Pleistocene terraces 8%
3. Recent flood plains 80%
